Terry Lynn Britton

Terry Lynn Britton, 76 of Midland, passed away on Monday, May 29, 2023. A memorial service will be held at 10:00am, Friday, June 2, 2023 at Fairmont Park Church of Christ. Interment will follow at 3:00pm, Friday, June 2, 2023 at Evergreen Cemetery in Stanton, Texas.

Terry was born on May 27, 1947 in Lamesa, Texas to Fern and Johnny Britton. He lived many of his growing up years in Portales, NM where his parents were house parents at New Mexico Christian Children’s Home.  He married the love of his life Debbie Ross on June 22, 1973. They had 3 children Johnny, Sharon, and Deidra. They lived in Chino, CA, Plainview, TX, Goldsmith, TX, Pecos, TX,  Tarzan, TX, and landing in Midland, TX to retire.

Terry was a kind and loving man who was always willing to help in any way he could. He loved to sing; therefore, he led singing at just about every congregation he attended. One thing he enjoyed as much as singing was talking. He would usually be one of the last ones to leave any gathering.

He loved his family and everyone he met became family. He loved his children, but the grandchildren held his heart. It gave him such joy to take them places like McDonald’s, Toys R Us, the children’s museum, but mostly to the park to watch them play and help them when they would get stuck. Most importantly he loved God and wanted everyone he met to know God as he did.

Terry is survived by wife Debbie, of almost 50 years, daughter-in-law Jalynna Britton of Plainview, daughters Sharon James of Cleburne, Deidra Delozier and husband Brian of Midland; grandchildren Cadee, Michael, Ryan Britton, Emily and Naomi Davis, and Sarah and Abby Delozier; his sister Carolyn Riley and husband Ron, and brother Keith Williamson and wife Christine and his Uncle Bill Oden and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; and his beloved dog Daisy.  Terry is preceded in death by his parents and his son Johnny.

The family would like to express their gratitude towards Midland Memorial ER nurses Juliette and Daniella, CCU nurses Faith and Kelsie and to Rebecca, PA who stayed with us till Hospice was called in and still checked on us afterwards and to Dr. Nguyen. You all were so caring and compassionate to our family. To the Hospice of Midland staff, thank you for being so helpful and compassionate.
